God Speaks French, Even if I Don't

One day while prayerwalking through the apartment complexes where we were distributing literature and holding Bible clubs in, we had stopped to pray for the people living in a few of the buildings. I asked God why I was chosen to come, for it felt like I was of NO help, since I didn't know French and could not talk to the people, unlike many of the others there with me. But after I prayed that, a boy passed where we were sitting, reading through one of the books we had just handed out maybe a couple of hours earlier with stories of Jesus in it. His face was lit up as he smiled and kept reading. God simply told me that THAT is why I was there. Through willingness and being open to be a vessel, more people were able to hear (or READ) the Gospel message!

—James, a student worker in Western Europe
